97 Street is a major arterial road in north Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It is used to take vehicles in and out of Downtown Edmonton to the city's northern suburban neighbourhoods and to the region's main military installation, CFB Edmonton. The road has existed in some form since Edmonton's was a small agricultural community. At its southern terminus it connects with Jasper Avenue, early Edmonton's main street, at the location of the Shaw Conference Centre and Canada Place the main federal government offices in Alberta since 1988 and the former site of the Alberta Hotel. Proceeding north, 97 Street passes the Winspear Centre for Music, and the Law Courts, as well as the Chinatown gate Like all early roads in eastern Edmonton, Nayamo Avenenue as it was called, ran at a slight angle to a true north-south line, being more NNW-SSE. During later development (north of 110A Avenue) it switches to a straight north-south course. Chinatown The neighbourhood along the west side, between 137 and 153 Avenues, Griesbach, used to be designated for homes for the families of the base. This has since been bought by the city for redevelopment. 97 Street is still used as the Canadian Forces' parade to the base upon return of duty of the troops. This has prompted the light standards being tied with yellow ribbons and the street nicknamed Heroes Boulevard. This honorary name was the idea of local dentist Randy Crowell as a tribute to all past and present members of Edmontons' military family. 10,000 names were gathered through radio media outlets and presented to City Hall in support of the Heroes Boulevard tribute. ==Neighbourhoods== List of neighbourhoods 97 Street runs through, in order from south to north.〔(City of Edmonton map utility )〕 *Boyle Street *Central McDougall *McCauley *Spruce Avenue *Alberta Avenue *Westwood *Delton *Killarney *Lauderdale *Glengarry *Rosslyn *Northmount *Griesbach *Evansdale *Beaumaris *Eaux Claires *Lorelei *Baturyn *Lago Lindo *Elsinore 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「97 Street, Edmonton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
